Pretty cool, but the prices they're asking on ebay are high even for the normal laser cut MDF stuff.

Yeah, their webstore is like 11GBP for a small building, which is kinda steep for MDF. I like the look of them for the material though.

A WIP of a devilfish I've been slowly working on. Orange is a bitch to paint and photograph. Eventually it will be as beat up as the drone sitting in the turret who I posted before, but for now I'm still working on getting the base coats down.

I got back into painting again a few months back and have put together a pretty good stock of Vallejo paints as I prefer the dropper bottles over the pots. So far I've been finding the reds a little lacking so today I picked up Citadel's Mephiston Red and Evil Sunz Scarlet and the difference is night and day. Better coverage than Vallejo's Extra Opaque and just an overall better finished product. It has left me wondering; Are there any other colors that Citadel or P3 do better that I may miss by mainly sticking to VGC and VMC?

I think there's enough "scenery" buildings out there, so I'd like to see more small bunkers and large military-style buildings, especially with removable roofs or internal walls that can be repositioned. I'd love to run a game entirely indoors, or to have a squad that has been firing from inside a building get assaulted and be able to remove the top to handle combat. So maybe not just buildings, but Space Hulk-style (albeit larger) tilesets as well? I dunno how big the interest for that would be, but I'd be all over it.

JESUS CHRIST THAT IS GORGEOUS I love it. gently caress. It's like a nectarine from the chinese luftwaffe of the future. I want it to soak my chaos legions in sticky citrus. I picture it squirting a giant gushing hose of fresh delicious pulpy juice as it glides over the battlefield. It's like the Yoshi fruit vomit from Mario Sunshine, but in hovertank form. God. God.

Cross posting from the oath thread. I managed to finish my Skulls of the Archangel Honor Guard squad.  First up, one of the marines armed with Lightning Claws.    Next up, my Sanguinary Noviate.    Next, my Chapter Champion.   A Plasma Rifle Equipped Marine.   And my Chapter Banner bearer.

I'd have to see what kind of bunker complexes the others are suggesting, but yeah an easy to break-down Blood Bowl pitch would be cool, with add-on dugouts or whatever. Also, seconding the suggestion for anything that will go along with Sedition Wars (https://www.seditionwars.com) - you can get color tile packs for it but the ability to have 3D terrain with grates, computer consoles, doors, steps, etc. would be pretty cool. Someone mentioned catwalks also, and how about signage like billboards and modular fortification walls like the Aegis thing that's been release for 40K?

Looking for some advice on how to finish up my Winter Themed Nyss Hunters. Body is VMA Pale Sea Blue, with GW Ice blue highhlights, washed with Babab Black. Hair was done with Coal Black, planning on highlighting with Space Wolves Grey or Menoth White Highlight. Going to do the metals on the Sword in Vallejo Liquid Gold Silver, and maybe some of the armour with VLQ Old Gold. Anyone have any advice on how to make them pop more?

You need some color contrast homie. Work in a warmish tone somewhere. Are those headswaps with dark elves from whfb? Im thinking of ways to un-fugly my nyss, who will be in my cryx army. My tentative plan is ninja scarf/masks with glowing green eyes, but head swaps sound good too.

Do the flesh in dark purple, highlight up through a splotchy layer of brownish gray, and then a medium red for the final highlight to make them look frostbitten like bruised plums.

Im thinking of ways to un-fugly my nyss, who will be in my cryx army. My tentative plan is ninja scarf/masks with glowing green eyes, but head swaps sound good too. I couldn't bear the original heads so these are Dark Eldar Whyches from HoardOBits on ebay. Biggest decision was whether to decapitate Cylena or not, since her head isn't terrible - decided it was needed for consistency as the Eldar heads are a tiny bit larger. They're mostly going to be working for my Khador so I'm trying to see now if I could fit any red on there - potentially the armour and front skirt. Would Skorne red be too cold? Maybe Skorne highlighted with Khador?

In p3 tones, I'd go Beaten Purple->Idrian Flesh->Sanguine Base watered down and possibly mixed with the purple, uneavenly. (links are probably NMS--it's photographs of frostbite damage) This cat is a good example of how the colors work. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/images21/CatFrostbiteBlackSkinRemoved8.jpg It's like fire, only the most exposed parts transition down from blackened dead flesh to raw bleeding and discolored regular. fakeedit: oh hey, this one is better http://jhmakeup.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/frostbite.jpg No blood, and I wouldn't bother with the necrotized sections, since it'll make them look way too zombie--go for the traumatized, but alive flesh. edit: Holy poo poo! thanks cut and paste bot who made those img tags instead of urls.

The purple bruise chat is good for me too. I have purple chaos marines and Ive been struggling to do something unique with my nurgle stuff. I didn't want standard nurgle green even though green is my secondary color. I tried to do a more sickly pale purple but it basically just looks lavender adn that's not scary. Maybe a gross darker bruise color would look good. Is beaten purple basically the same as liche purple, or is it different enough that I should pick it up? My normal marines are pure liche purple highlighted with liche+grey or liche+bone.

Maybe a gross darker bruise color would look good. Well, I use vallejo, usually, and they have some lichen game color I use for purple that's probably closer to 'leviathan' or 'druchii' purple (according to this thing: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2320032a_Citadel_Conversion_Chart) The old Lich I used to have was slightly bluer. It's part of GW's blue/purple cloth palette. P3's purple shade is in the red spectrum, I think, though they recommend it as a base for a couple of their blues, but it's the Menoth palette which isn't as cool (note: tempwise, not kickinradwise) as cygnar (the mainly blue guys) example: http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/the-protectorate-of-menoth/warcasters/hierarch-severius I mean, if you look at what's happening in the images I linked earlier, what you really need is to take your purple as a base coat, then slop some red splotches on parts that seem like they should be raw (which I think will be the junction between the highlight surfaces--where you'll get the worst damage, and consequently the deepest purple-black bruising--and the discolored flesh) and then thin the sallow flesh tone down and haphazardly cover that, without putting too much on things like cheeks, noses, chins, or lips, but still making sure you have decent coverage along the jaw, forehead, and possibly the neck. Maybe make a final pair of passes drybrushing first the red over ears, nose, lips, and cheeks, and then mostly covering that red with a further drybrushing of the purple to anchor the devastated feeling of the tissue in the places with poor circulation. There's a lot of reference out there for how frost bite breaks down--and when the wounds begin rotting, that's a whole different deal, because it's basically the complete devastation and exposure to disease from burns, without the cauterization of heat to help keep it from getting too out of control. It's really painful to look at, but if you want to do some hardcore gross nurgle poo poo, I recommend google image searching 'frostbite wound' for yourself. In my mind the suggestion was less 'holy poo poo do something gross' and more like an unearthly step between ruddy cheeks from being out in the cold and actual frostbite, implying that these strange dudes are both at home in the winter and also kind of unnaturally sustained and taxed by it--in the vein of the whole undead schtick where, on the one hand, you're not dead, but on the other hand, you're clearly not ok. Like you could use a hug, or some chapstick.

Do you think painting it sort of striated like people do with tyranid carapace, maybe going from dark purple up through bone would work?

Do you think painting it sort of striated like people do with tyranid carapace, maybe going from dark purple up through bone would work? I think it could, but I imagine to get the quality that it sounds like you're going for, you should combine some sculpting iliac crest/scapula kinds of shapes on parts of the armor, and then using a lot of wet blending, while leaving other parts of the armor pristine, and possibly varnished with a gloss (transitioning to matte) in order to highlight the difference in materials. Something along these lines? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/216/wraithlord118wc.jpg/ Edit: I don't know what the gently caress is going on. Imageshanty? Is there some policy about linking to their pages or something? Eldar are ok reference. I didn't see anything particularly appropriate in the chaos spawn/space marines with bone armor searches I made. Depends on what exactly you're going for, but I think bone is usually more effective with brown highlights/base than purple, if only because purple implies blood and that implies flesh. You see the transition from purple to white/flesh in slaanesh a lot and it pretty much always looks like chitin is becoming skin, not bone. Sure--that's the look they go for, but I think they pick that look because it's easier to execute. Another possibility if you want it to feel raw would be start with red/dark red like raw bone protruding out of flesh at the place where the transitions are happening, and shade heavily with yellow and instead of a highlight layer, do a selective pink wash. If you're ambitious, use purple to paint fine blood vessels on the fresh bone parts. Bachtere would probably have better advice about using purple as a base for bone. I think he did a zombie dragon, didn't he? TheCosmicMuffet fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jul 27, 2012 |

MALIFAUX THREAD CROSS POST!!! (Its a miniatures game, and a good one, read up on it!) I have made all the base inserts for my wife's Guild force.   Took about 2 hours to make all those. They turned out better than I expected, especially after sprayed black. I wanted a clean base for the Guild faction. My Outcasts are on Sewer inserts, but that poo poo got expensive fast. I also think a warm wood tone will go really well with the factions red studio scheme.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing AT ALL--quite the contrary--I just am always curious what sparks the inspiration for people to kitbash like this. I won a sprue of 5 Spacewolves from the Oath trek last month, and I decided to fold the models into my chapter without having them be too, too obvious that I am mixing and matching. I like the whole trophies thing, and the wolf skulls are pretty cool. Also diluting the wolfyness over many different models will help keep it from being a whole "ugh, he is using Space Wolves as Blood Angels" issue. (That and I am using a bunch of other chapter bits in the army, especially Dark Angels cloaked marines for my Death Company. (I figure it is more solemn than red exes.) I also intend on using specific helms for certain things. My bikers are all going to have the wolf helmet head from the Space Wolves due to their tactics, and my assault marines will all have beak helms. (I really wish it was easier to get a hold of those FW Beak helms from the Ravenguard upgrade pack with the actual beaks, but you only get one to a pack and all the bits sites are sold out.) TL;DR: I am poor and free marines are free marines. I just don't want to turn my army into a frankenstein laughing stock of random bits. Edit: Seriously though, I am looking for as much criticism as possible on these models. I am already working on cleaning up some mold lines and paint marks that I missed. Is the Space Wolves stuff to distinctively space wolfy? Also, odd question, but is there any Aquilas that are visible that I missed? (as I do intend on possibly playing them as CSM as well as BA Aquillas would look out of place.) jadebullet fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jul 27, 2012 |
